Looking forward to this but I do have one question.

How big is the trophy?

I'm going to look at my boat this weekend and need to know how much room to reserve on the dash for it.

Someone had to start it right? :lol:

[joelsanders]

gonna have to follow you if i'm gonna have a chance at all! lol!

[joelsanders]

Hey Terry are you gonna trailer your new boat down to Southaven,or drive it down? how far on the water from Holland?

[Dr Hook]

Hey Terry are you gonna trailer your new boat down to Southaven,or drive it down? how far on the water from Holland?

About 25 mi according to Google Earth tool.

[N II Deep]

About 25 mi according to Google Earth tool.

that would be about right, little over an hour run from Holland at a normal cruisin' speed.

The plan is to trailer it down And get a slip for the weekend Joel .

I have another idea, back in the day every Capt. That wanted in would donate one 8" flasher weather it was a Spin Dr., Protroll ect and who ever has the biggest fish regardless of speciese at the end of the season takes them all. Would any one be interested in this.

It would have to be a new in the package flasher.

[tntmud]

I'll put in a flasher for big fish. I think its a good idea if more boats want to do it.

[DIRTY DOG]

Just got confermation that Morgans Tackle will be one of the leagues sponcers this season.

[nickoftime]

Looks like we won't be able to fish it this year Nick is doing an internship at university of pittsburgh medical center all summer and brother in law has to many commitments to really say yes.

[DIRTY DOG]

Ok, that's to bad Kevin.

[DIRTY DOG]

Well with only 3 weeks till the first event , this will be May 2 in South Haven and sponcers by Silver Streak. I will put a sign up thread up around the end of next week.

[DIRTY DOG]

Ok ,I feel a little beside my self with this one. I had one of the capt. call today and ask to explain the limit to weigh. I said its your best 5 fish and they said no, you have dnr limit. After rereading it, it was determined that they were correct. This has been changed to reflect you can keep a 3 person limit per boat and weigh your best 5 fish, with 10 points per fish except for weight only for Lake Trout.
